the city is an attraction? Have you ever been to Houston? Obviously not

Yeah Houston is nice, WAAAY better than Dallas or the DFW area. i mean you want to talk boring its the DFW area. At least in the Houston area there is shopping, nightlife, Galveston beach and the island, Woodlands Pavilion, the Galleria. You can hop over to Louisiana to do some gambling. Oklahoma is close to Dallas guess you hop over there and do some farming.

This off-season they will still have room for a max contract. But do you think they can draw someone in?

The only potential max contract players available this summer will be Howard and Paul. Josh Smith will be available too, but I feel that if you pay him a max deal you probably are not going to be able to field a competitive team. I think Howard is a lock to re sign with the LAL. Paul is a possibility to leave the LAC, but I do not expect it, considering the teams with potential max cap space.

Houston has always been a top destination for big time nba players. Clyde Drexler, Charles Barkley, Scottie Pippen, Steve Francis, Tracy McGrady, Ron Artest, etc have all requested and gotten trades to houston.

Exactly, most NBA top Caliber players have business advisers. They let them know the business and investment climate of Texas is superb. Then add in the versatility of scenery and activities. Texas is huge.

Why is nobody mentioning the no state income tax thing? That's the dirty little secret behind Miami pairing up all three of those guys, they didn't really take less money, it's just a smaller cap hit. You save a ton without state income tax, Assuming Miami and Orlando are out of the market for top FA's Houston can offer more total money than anyone other than a player's original team (and I don't know the math behind this, but maybe even more than them). For that reason they're a major player now with any big free agent.
